roe v. wade, n.All

Roe v. Wade is to be decided on the grounds that the judiciary is not in the position to speculate upon the difficult question of when life begins since even those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus.

Roe v. Wade is to be decided on the grounds of the right to privacy, which is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.
